Database Restore && Attach Error

Apr 13, 2003

Database Restore & Attach Error
I have a problem with restoring or attaching DB files from different version of the engine. I Have a existing SQL server 7.x and another one is SQL 2000 but I try to backup my database and restore it into the 2000 engine This is the following Problem which occurs :-

1st Problem : During Restoration, The restoration process was runing fine until it reach the last inficatior tab and it fail and say Database terminated abnormal. I been try to restore into other machine also but it give me the same problem.

2nd Problem : Say I can't restore but I stop the engine and manual copy the *.mdf and *.ldf to another machine. I try to restore it but it "is on a network device not supported for database files." So what shall I Do with it.

Pls Advise If anything need to be done before I do the restoring and anything need to be done in both 7.x and 2000 Engine.

Backup/Restore Vs Attach/Detach 2000 Database To 2005

Jul 15, 2006

I'm trying to see the differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach. I backup and detach a database from SQL Server 2000 SP3 and then attach and restore it to SQL Server 2005 SP1.

The differences I noticed are:

1. The restored database has a much larger initial size (database size is same) for data and log.
2. The attached database has a last backup date
3. If the backup is restored over a database, the restored database is showing owned by the database owner of the database restored over but syslogins and sysusers do not match.

I don't understand why #1 happens.

Are there any other differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach?



Thanks,

Peter

SQL Server Express: Restore, Backup And Attach Do Not Work Anymore && Database Locations Fault

May 7, 2008

Hello there,

I've some really big problems with SQL Server 2005 Express. I Recently, I had 2 instances on my machine, one was a SQL Server 2000 Developer and the other a 2005 Express Version. The 2000 version was not necessary anymore, so I unstalled it, since then, the Express version keeps having probems.

Under the Server Properties -> Database settings -> Database Locations I've changed the path to D:sqldatamssql, but now, the programm always takes the "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" to store and load the databases, no matter what I do.

And there are more problems see here:

Restoring does not work=======================
I wanted to restore a database called "fw40_admin" from a backup file (.bak), but that didn't work at all, it always says this as an error:

"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(error not found)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:sqldatamssqlfw40_admin.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)"

But as soon as I type in the installation path "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" inside the "Restore As" under "Options", it works.

Why does the backup only work in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData", BUT the database locations under the server properties is indicated with "D:sqldatamssql"????


Attaching does not work=======================
Attaching an existing database does not work either. Most databases (mdf) are located on the path D:sqldatamssql, but as soon as I press

Attach Databases -> Add

The dialog window appears with the "D:sqldatamssql" path, but it is unable to find any *.mdfs altough THERE ARE .mdfs in this directory. But Express can find databases in the selected installation: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData".
Why can't Express see the directory on the D: partition???


What is wrong? Here? Can anybody help me?

Attach Database Error

Jun 16, 2005

I am trying to attach a database to SQLEXPRESS. I get an error, [Directory Lookup for the file C: . . . DataORION.mdf" failed with the operating system error 5(Access is denied.)]

I tried to attach another database and got the same error. I have attached databases to SQLEXPRESS before successfully. I tried to attach using single file to no avail.

I am using the query, "sp_attach_db @dbname=N'ORION', @filename1=N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataORION.MDF'
go"

ORION.mdf is in the Data folder for SQLEXPRESS

What am I doing wrong or what did I change inadvertently to restrict my access to the file?

Error 1824 Cannot Attach A Database That Was Being Restored

Aug 23, 2007

We have a log shipping database running on SQL 2000 ENT SP4, the secondary DB is in standby/read only mode . we have a job that runs every day to take it offline, make a copy of the files and attach them as a new database for reporting purposes.

We're planning to upgrade to SQL 2005 however, when we copy the Standby/read only database files and attach using "CREATE DAABASE FOR ATTACH" we get :

msg 1284
Cannot attach a database that was being restored.


this works in SQL 2000 but not SQL 2005, is there a way to force attach the DB ?


Thanks.

Error - Express Create Database For Attach

Apr 3, 2007

Hi Guys,This is my first post and I hope I'm not going to embarrass myself to much.I am currently writing a pseudo install package for SQL Server Express, it is written in VB.Net 2.0.

I have created an *.exe that fires the SQL Server Express install package silently with command line options, once complete the *.exe copies an *.MDF and an *.LDF to the newly created data directory. Once the data has been copied I fire a "CREATE DATABASE FOR ATTACH" using a SQLClient.SQLCommand to attach my DB. I am using Windows Authentication for SQL Server Express.This all works beautifully when the *.exe is being run from a local hard disk - complete success.When I move the *.exe to a CD it fails . SQL Server is installed correctly, the files are copied to the local hard disk in the correct location. I then fire the "CREATE DATABASE" command - its here I get the error.The error details are:Unable to open the physical file "c:....Exchange.LDF". Operating System error 5:"5(error not found)". Cannot create file "c:....Exchnage.ldf" because it already exists. Change the file path or file name, and retry the operation. Could not open new database 'Exchange'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. File activation failure. The physical file name "c:....Exchange.LDF" may be incorrect.Remember this works perfectly when run from the local hard disk, this only occurs when running from a CD-ROM.Now from the research I have done I believe it may be a permissions error. The setup *.exe is being run from a Administrator account and the SQL Server DB Engine Service Account is System. I'm under the impression that this should provide more than enough permissions.

Thanks for any help you guys may be able to provide...
Matt.

Exception Error 5123 - Unable To Attach Database

Jan 29, 2008

Hello.

Our GIS group is working with SQL Server 2005 in conjunction with ESRI's ArcGIS software. SQL Server is being used as a test bed until we formally migrate our existing Microsoft Access mdb's over. So, at this time we are conducting various tests and have the freedom to "blow up" our databases.

We are currently testing ArcSDE Workgroup edition, which will only work with SQL Server Express (SSE). SSE will let us create spatial joins and relationships, while maintaining data integrity. So one possible workaround was to detach the database from SQL Server 2005 and then attach it to SSE. Unfortunately, we ran into a problem in re-attaching the database back to SQL Server 2005.

The exact steps are as follows:


Back up database using back up tool in SQL Server 2005.

Detached database from SQL Server 2005.

Attached database to SQL Server Express (hereafter SSE).

Created a table in database while it was attached to SSE.

Detached database from SSE.

Attempt to attach database to SQL Server 2005 failed

Successfully restored database in SQL Server 2005 using Restore tool.
Step number 6 above failed and generated the following error:

Questions:


Why did I get this error?

Can incorrect or missing permission or ownership settings generate this kind of error?

When should one detach/attach a database?

I welcome your assistance and suggestions.

Error An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File

Aug 1, 2006

Hi,

I've just created my first projects using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL 2005 Express. This is the basic;

One windows service is created that updates a database. The windows service running under "Local system" account
One windows application where a user can see data (and change) from the database
A common business and dataaccess layer/project is used by both applications
Connection string to the database: "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DataDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=60;User Instance=True"

Both application is located in the same directory. When the computer starts the windows service starts and works perfectly. But when a user starts the windows applications the following error is reported "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file..A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share".

It look likes that only one of my application can connect to the database at a time!

Is it possible to use separate applications to connect to the same database file?

Error An Attempt To Attach An Auto-named Database For File

Jan 17, 2007

Hello,

I have seen some solutions of which I tried on this form for the error I am receiving, but I still cannot get the issue resolved.

Here is my case:

I developed an app using SQL Express as the local data source. I published it to my server using the Once Click install feature. When I look in my project viewer, under settings, My db connection strings are listed as follows: Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TAP_Master.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True

From another computer, I navigate to the publish site, install and run the application with no problems. I have on another computer, the same app with an updated version number that I wish to publish, however the difference is is that this published version does not include the database as I do not want the end user to overwrite any existing data that they may have from the previous version.

I publish the updated version, install it but when the app runs, I receive the message, "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file".

Any suggestions?



Thanks in advance.

How To Attach Or Restore Db From .mdf And Ldf Files After Db Deleted

Aug 19, 2002

First, let me say that I have already reviewed information posted by experts within the chat area.

Someone completely deleted my SQL Server 7 database. I retrieved the .LDF and .MDF files from a network backup. Now I am trying to attach the database. I have tried this without creating an instance of the database by using the attach stored procedure to attache the .LDF and .MDF files I retrieved from the network backup. Also, I have tried it by creating an instance of the database and doing a detach of the newly created db .LDF and .MDF files and an attach of the .LDF and .MDF files I retrieved from the network backup. Neither of these approaches have worked.


Here is what I have tried in the Query Analyzer, but to no avail:


For the following example, I created a database instance called 'qarun_diamond_48_brett' with brand new .ldf and .mdf files and then tried to detach and then attach the .ldf and .mdf files from the network backup:

use master
go
sp_detach_db
'qarun_diamond_48_brett', 'F:APPSSQL 7.0DatabaseDataqarun_diamond_48_brett_log.ldf'

Message: Usage: sp_detachdb <dbname>, [TRUE|FALSE]


use master
go
sp_detach_db
'qarun_diamond_48_brett', 'F:APPSSQL 7.0DatabaseDataqarun_diamond_48_brett.mdf'

Message: Usage: sp_detachdb <dbname>, [TRUE|FALSE]


I tried the following attaches of the retrieved/recoverd .ldf and .mdf from the network to the newly created db instance. That didn't work, so I tried attaching to a db that had not yet been created.

use master
go
sp_attach_db
'qarun_diamond_48_brett2', 'F:APPSSQL 7.0DatabaseDataqarun_diamond_48_brett2_log.ldf'

Message: Server: Msg 1801, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Database 'qarun_diamond_48_brett' already exists.

If I use a different db name I get the following error:
Server: Msg 5105, Level 16, State 13, Line 1
Device activation error. The physical file name 'qarun_diamond_48_brett' may be incorrect.


use master
go
sp_attach_db
'qarun_diamond_48_brett2', 'F:APPSSQL 7.0DatabaseDataqarun_diamond_48_brett2.mdf'

Message: Server: Msg 1801, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Database 'qarun_diamond_48_brett' already exists.

I have also tried these statements wtih the EXEC sp_attach_db and EXEC sp_detach_db commands from within the Master db in Query Analyzer.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Brett

Automatically Enable Broker After Restore Or Attach

Aug 22, 2007

Is there a way to automatically enable Service Broker on SQL Server 2005 Express Edition after a database has been attached or restored?
My initial idea was to check if broker is disabled whenever the client application starts and enable it from there but the problem with this is that the current user might not have the required permissions. So now I'm looking for another way to enable it right after restore/attach if at all possible. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Database Restore, Error 3154 And

Jul 31, 2006

Hi all,

I am trying to restore and SQL 2000 database into a new SQL 2005 database. I performed by SQL 2000 backup and created a blank database FERS_Production in SQL 2005. FERS_Production was the original name of the database in the SQL 2000 instance.

I have tried giving the new database the same name as the original and a different name to the original database

(Below is the scripted T-SQL that I get from the DB Admin tool

RESTORE DATABASE [Fers_Production]
FILE = N'FERS_Production_dat',
FILE = N'FERS_Production_log'
FROM DISK = N'D:Microsoft SQL Server (2000)MSSQLBackupFers_ProductionFers_Production_db_200607270206.BAK'
WITH FILE = 1,
NOUNLOAD,
REPLACE,
STATS = 10
GO

When I run this I get the following error.

Msg 3154, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Fers_Production' database.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

Other searches I have performed trying to fix this problem have said to use the REPLACE clause with the RESTORE DATABASE command, but as you can see I am doing that.

Also I no longer have SQL 2000 installed so I cannot try to do a DTS copy which was another suggestion I came across.

Any help is much appriciated, many thanks
